The Masked Singer (2019–2024)
1/10
Leave it to us Americans to take a philanthropic concept and dumb it down
18 October 2019
The idea behind the original Korean show was to allow singers who may have fallen out of the public eye due to bad circumstances to regain the public's attention by being disguised when they sang so that the audience would not have any preconceived notions.

This thing is simply Homer Simpson level celebrity chasing. Who is that? Deon Sanders? Gladys Knight? etc.? Sanders is a sports legend. Knight is a music legend. They don't need rediscovery.

This is the type of reality show Fox used to pump out in the early 2000s. Remember trash tv classics like Joe Millionaire, Who Wants to Be A Princess, Who Wants to Marry A Millionaire, My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance, Who Wants to Marry Harry, Unan1mous, Who's Your Daddy (not sure this ever made it to air), The Swan, and best of all, Mr Personality -- that Monica Lewinsky dating show where all the guys wore masks? Yeah, this show is basically their return to form.

Skip it. Your IQ will thank you for it.
